romney talks about. it was not just that small businesses were seeing costs skyrocket and they cannot get affordable coverage even if they wanted to provide it, it was not just that this was the biggest driver of the federal deficit, it was families who were more worried about going bankrupt if they got sick. millions of families across the country, if they had a pre- existing condition, they might not get coverage at all. if they did have coverage, insurance companies might iose an arbitrary limit. as a consequence, they are paying their premiums and if somebody gets really sick, lo and behold they do not have enough money to pay the bills because the insurance companies say they have hit the limit. we did work on this a long side working on jobs. this is part of making sure middle-class families are secure in this country. let me tell you exactly what obamacare did. if you have health insurance, it does not mean a government takeover. you keep your own insurance. it does say they cannot turkey around.
